[TR] high engine rpm

[Joe Curry]

Mark,
I am pretty sure that if you do not secure one wheel, one will spin backward
relative to the other with an open diff.  Don't ask me to explain it but
that is what I have noticed when I tried it.

I am going to have the Red Mk1 off the ground this week to adjust the rear
shocks and when I have it in the air, I am going to give it a try to see if
I remember it correctly or if I am actually going crazy.

I will report back to reveal if I am beaming with success or have egg on my
face.

Oh, I did want to say that since you have changed list software, I am very
disappointed.  The one thing I liked about Majordomo is that it did not
default replies to the list server and broadcast the reply to the entire
list (like Yahoo does).  Now I have to go to special effort if I want to
send a personal private reply.  Makes more work (Like editing text out of
replies)

Sheesh.

If both axles turn together at the same rate, so there is no difference in
their movement relative to each other, then there is no differential effect.
If you hold one wheel stationary and turn the other, so that there is a
difference in their movement, you get a differential effect.

Holding one axle stationary and moving the other axle one revolution will
cause the central carrier to turn one half revolution relative to the axle
that stayed put and one half revolution  relative to the  axle that  turned.

I guess I'll have to either dig up some web video of how this works, or
make one myself.

Of course, this isn't nearly so complicated as figuring out how to edit
ones replies to NOT include a bunch of useless, irrelevant verbiage
in a response.
